TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan is hailing its most advanced missile as “an aircraft carrier killer” on the same day that China began sea trials of it first aircraft carrier.
During the preview for a defence exhibition Wednesday, Taiwan brandished the indigenous Hsiung Feng III missile against the backdrop of a billboard depicting a missile-riddled aircraft carrier.
The billboard bore the words: “Aircraft carrier killer.”
The Hsiung Feng III has made two previous public appearances in Taiwan and has been deployed on Taiwan’s Perry-class frigates but has never been described as anti-carrier weapon.
Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949. China still claims Taiwan as its own and vows to bring it back to the fold by force if necessary.
